This evening marks the start of live sports again in North America. I'm not a big sports fan but these month-long World Cup/Euro style tournaments can be a lot of fun.
I have divided the competing teams into three groups - Favourites, Outside Chancers, and No-Hopers based on their likelihood of winning the tournament. Just choose one team from each group (using the survey link below) and each win earns you three points and ties are worth one point.
For a tie breaker, if needed, take a guess at the total number of goals scored by all teams throughout (excluding any scored in shootouts)
Don't worry about any lack of knowledge about the teams or if you've even heard of soccer before. I had someone come in second place during a World Cup by choosing places she had travelled to!
The first match is Wednesday, July 8 at 8:00 pm so make sure to get your picks in before that.
Have fun and good luck!
